Wat the shit
Is SPSS the statistical software?? I never know that it is worth so much.
Scott A. Barshay of Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP acted as legal advisor for IBM. Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated acted as financial advisor and Frederick B. Thomas and William R. Kucera acted as legal advisors for Mayer Brown LLP. -capIQ
What has the world come to when a $1.2B IBM acquisition is dubbed a "MONSTER MERGER!" ?
Seriously, its .25% of IBM.
Ha my thoughts exactly "monster merger"!? Tech M&A markets taking off!
Monster may be a bit much, but in this wonderful market (M&A market), anything north of $1 billion could be something to write home about, or, in this case, write on an IB forum.

Agreed, nothing really "monster" about this deal at all. Hell, the space I cover is not nearly as big as tech and we had a $1.2 Bn deal this past week as well - not exactly earth shattering.
Tech exits this year have been abysmal at best, with the exception of Oracle & JAVA this has been a monster merger for 09. Additionally, tech niche companies are increasingly losing their edge to industry maturation/saturation. Most new business models emerging from the post - web 2.0 era are "echo chamber" ideas or extremely gimmicky. Also who here has heard of SPSS? The rumor mill is a buzz with a possible acquisition of Yahoo! by Microsoft in the 500 MM to 1B range w/ some future revenue shares; pre tech bubble burst this would have been up there with Time Warner/AOL, now its upfront cash is on par with a no name data mining software.
